Biggest opportunity: “e commerce” and “online payment gateway” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 18.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Payments plugin keeps 1.0%, across 1,043 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Payments plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| payway | #1 | #7 | — |
| wechat payment gateway | #21 | #24 | up 1 |
| e commerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| online payment gateway your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 2 listed. 7 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “e commerce” and “online payment gateway” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “payway”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

We don’t usually know where to get all those stuff such as key, merchant ID, other url! let consider this plugin a very waste of time!

after activated the plug in, it caused my website to display a pop up message: example: Site Name says website.address ,then there’s an action like press enter or click on OK to enter website.

Normally we use plugins because we’re not coders and plugins get the job done for us. Definitely not the case with this one. It was like pulling teeth to get the info that needed to be entered into the plugin, and it still didn’t work. No help from ABA either. They say they can’t help installing on customer websites and that we have to hire someone. If you use Woo on WordPress and ABA for payment processing, better use GetLoy plugin to connect. At least they get it done.
